Mainly, I'd like to ensure that I have a source of security fix RPMS,
for both my home machines, and any machines at work that require
them. Added to that, I like RH 7.3. It's a good stable release that
works well for machines that don't need all the bells and whistles
that I may want on my workstation.
It should be noted that while work is permitting me to contribute to
this project, it is not a sponsored activity. So, I'm free to spend
as much of my free time as I want. But, I may or may not, be able to
spend work-time on the project, depending on what's necessary at
the company.
I could potentially do some QA for the project if necessary. I still
need to work on setting up a reference machine for that to happen.

Currently, I package many of the custom packages required in the
development environment at work. There are some security updates to
stock packages as well, and I expect the need for that to grow as the
EOL's take effect. I'm mainly responsible for making sure that the
machines used for development are secure, maintainable, and that all
applications used are able to work together properly.
My skillset includes: C/C++, Java, Php, Perl, and a very slim bit of
python.
Why should I be trusted? I have a vested interest in seeing the
project succeed and move forward, in that it may save me some
headache at work and with my own machines. Other than that, I've
been working professionally in systems administration/engineering
since 1998. Honestly, I don't have any examples in the public domain
to showcase, so perhaps any trust I earn will have to come from my
contributions to the project.
